The "UNC: Geth Incursion" assignment took almost three hours to complete, with no real story behind it, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, I made Tali happy, but story wise there was almost nothing there. So now I'm off to Virmire.
Don't get me wrong, I think the game is awesome and I love the story and universe, but everyone praising all the side missions makes me wonder if I'm not doing the right ones or something.
Also, I really don't like the driving sections. Waiting 5 minutes for my shields to recharge so I can take out a Colossus sucks.

The number of side missions, and the general back story involving Cerebrus that tied into Mass Effect 2 were praise worthy, but the awfulness of the Mako sequences and the repetitiveness of the environments were roundly criticized at the time.
Where Mass Effect was mainly praised, and rightly so, was for the main story, especially dialogue, the RPG elements, interesting characters, and the thoroughly fleshed-out world.
